I once wrote a program called 'dnt' for BSD system so I could insert
today's date into vi buffer with the style I like.  It accepts a date
format sort of like the date for system V.  There are options to
add/subtract number from the date so you can get date for tomorrow.  It
only does arithmetic on day, not hour, minute.  It is short:

It might not be general enough for you.
